BB narrowed his eyes and growled.
"Look kid, I'm tryin' to save you some grief. No unless you want that tox-"
BB stopped. His face screwed up into a look of confusion, then pain as quick glimpses of a past he couldn't remember sped through his brain. "aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Images of labs, faces, charts, battlefields, people he recognized but didn't know laughing, those same people dead... this boys face.
BB looked up, glaring at the boy with a strange look in his eyes. Within a heartbeat, BB's hand was at the boys throat and slamming him into a tree. His finger touched Lyndis's chin and the flesh like coating melted away, but the metal remained. With his other hand, he ripped the collar of his vest down.
"TELL ME WHO I AM!"
((hehehe, have fun with that one))

Lyndis reigned in the fear the child's body was once again flooding his system with, though his eyes widened as he finally realized who he was dealing with. This wasn't a spy, it was an escaped experiment.
He recalled the black smoke and used it to melt the 'skin' from his opponent's hand and reveal the cybernetics he knew would be there. It was interesting to see that BB had enough memory to recognize him, but not quite enough to know the danger her was in. Lyndis was too weak to use the black smoke again, but he was able to boil up the same type of effect within his own body and spit it at the man assaulting him.
"Back off!" He ordered afterwards, in a voice that could not belong to a young child.

Ariana froze at the unexpected cursing from over her head and instinctively glanced up to see a shadow fall then run off in another direction and at the sudden gust of wind hitting her from the front went to glance back at the boy in front of her only to find him gone and running off after the shadow at a quick pace, turning back to her crew with a look of confusion plastered on her face only to see their faces mirroring her own expression.
Garhen suddenly turns, draws his weapon again and takes off after the pair, leaving the rest of the crew behind. They share more confused looks before taking off after him drawing thier weapons as well. Ariana was the last to follow, her concern for the boy breaking through her confusion and spuring her on past Marq, Seglin and Harfe to follow close behind Garhen and yell out
"What do you think that was about Garhen?!"
Garhen didnt reply but kept running after the blurs in the distance, putting his blaster on the highest setting as he came to the clearing the two where currently stopped in as he slowed down the stranger let out a powerful scream and pinned the boy to a tree. He saw the 'skin' from the stranger melt as he held the kid there. He heard Ariana gasp from behind him as he slowed to a stop and knowing her like her like he did his arms flew out to catch her as she tried to run by.
"Better stay back Captain,"
Ariana looked up at Garhen once she stopped her struggles to break his hold and saw the serious look on his face as he studied the two before him, as if he felt her gaze on his skin he said to her,
"It's too dangerous right now, those two seem to have some issues to work out. "
As the rest of the crowd trotted up the boy spit on his captors arm. They all heard the hissing that came from that spot on his skin, making them all wince and be happy that their Captian hadnt touched the kid.
While Garhen holds her in tight grip Ariana fumes about not being able to interfere, it goes against her nature to allow a child to come to harm, even one as unique as Lyndis. Shifting ever so slightly she brought her elbows up fast and shoved Garhen's arms up over her head and ran forward her blaster leading,
"Hey you!! Drop the kid and Back away slowly!!"
Garhen cursed as soon as she shoved him away and ran after her. The rest of the crew started forward as well shouting her name as she approached the two, their blasters leveled at the stranger.
Ariana showed no fear as she approached, she was a officer in the Tierran Military for crying out loud!! She couldnt just stand by as this happened...and she wouldn't allow it to continue if she could help it

if phay wasent laying on the ground he was shoure his jaw whould have droped a lot further. after trying to cope with all that had just heppended he should his head, crawled out from under the bush and raised to his feet. he draw his combat knife and held it reversed grip along the hand grip of his gun. CQC (close quoters combat) wasent really his thing but sometiems a knife is better than a gun.
as he headed off after all the others at a pace that whould provide some stealth but also speed he swore under his breather "crap crap crap CRAP" as he ran he flip the charge seting on his gun to full and felt it began to trum with power.
as he came up behind everone he almost gasped. B.B. had apparently snaped and was about to eather get melted by the child he held or be shot to bits by the other strangers. Phay sudenl felt way WAY outnumbed. in wich case it was time to do somthing drastic. (i.e. stupid). he reached back into his pack and fumbled through some spare parts he kept in there, he pulled out a smalle energy capaciter that still had a charge. he wipsered a prayer "oh please let me not get killed....oh ya and B.B. too"
phay reased hisnow fully charged blaster skyword and pulled the trigger, a vary noisy and bright blast lept from the barrel and shot into the trees above. only a deaf, blind, ADD person could ignore the ruckes. as the expected turning of all the others phay put a big smile on his face and activated the capaciter wich thrumed with energy and began to show energy surging within. "Why hello there everyone!" he said in a a chipper tone "why dont we all just calm done and stop trying to kill one another....cuz all these negitve waves are making me a little ancy and it makes me wonder how well I can hold onto this little plasma detonater here!"

BB jerked his arm away, attempting to fling whatever leftover spit was on his arm. Most of it had already evaporated, dried, and was gone though. His hand still worked, but he wouldn't be playing the violin anytime soon. He shakes his head, sending the last of those stray memories tumbling into the back of his mind. Then, he grins and holds his arms out toward Ariana and her crew, but keeps Lyndis in his line of sight as well.
"Arianna, dear me it's good to see you again. Having fun on this new planet yet? Oh I do hope so."
Then he glances at Phay.
"By the way, now would be a good time to get your boots back Phay... That is, if Arianas crew caught them," he says with a smirk. Then he looks at Lyndis one last time.
"... Keep an eye out boy, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a good bit of each other. Now, if you don't mind," he says as he moves toward Phay, "I think we'd better be going."

Lyndis was boiling with anger at this point (mainly due to the fact that he was actually in his 40s and people kept calling him a child... and because of the fact that he knew his survival actually depended on that fact). He could not attack BB right there, not without Ariana and her crew witnessing it. If they managed to get off the planet they could tell everyone and anyone and he would be trapped. So, he replied to BB's warning by swallowing his pride and trying to muster up a look of apprehension for the sake of the military personnel.
"J-just go," he replied, with a child's voice once more.

Ariana stopped dead in her tracks as the light and sound from the small explosion suffeciently distracted her momentarily, and in the next second she was spinning back toward the newcomer listening to his threat then spun back toward the stranger and Lyndis to see how that was resolved. Her confusion was doubled when the stranger turned back toward her group after letting the child go and she could see his face clearly, and the God tattoo staring a her on the left side of his face, jaw dropping she gasped, and thought to herself,
"B.B Woulfe?!?!?!? I thought he was dead!! That last incident should have done him in!!!"
Shocked as she was by this revelation, she as more shocked by his casual mention of the 'boot incident'. They were in front of them the whole time!! She didnt know who his partner was but she sure as hell would find out. Her government and others to be sure had been looking for him for years and even as a exploratory part of her military she had been called on more than once to find this man. The last time a group of military ships and him had met, it resulted in his ship being blown to bits...Thinking it was all over the manhunt stopped but apparently they were horribly wrong... Ignoring his comment about her trip she glared at him knowing he had the upper hand with his friend holding a plasma detonator and once he was finished chatting with the boy and began to move away she said,
"Woulfe, run as fast as you can...the hunt begins again as soon as we get off this planet..."
At the mention of his last name her crew turned toward him in surprise now seeing clearly who they were up against, But just like Ariana they knew it wouldnt be an easy task to catch him.

BB chuckled and picked a fruit from one of the nearby trees, gingerly taking a bite out of it. He brought a finger up and wiped a bit of juice off of his chin before licking it enticingly off his finger. Then he grinned wickedly.
"You should be careful before you make idle threats dear," he says. Then he looks over her shoulder and gazes deep into Garhens eyes, an unnerving quality in his own.
"You might find you're the one being hunted."
Then he lets his gaze sweep over the rest of the crew, finally stopping again on Ariana. He cocks his head to the side.
"Now who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?"

Ariana rolled her eyes blushing slightly at BB's comment before looking back at her crew quickly and just how she thought, Harfe was shaking in his boots from BB's bad pun, Marq was close and Seglin was glaring at BB, her hand itching for her blaster. Ariana turned toward Garhen to guage his reaction to find him staring directly at BB. The look on his face was one she had never seen before. It looked like pure unadulterated hatred, loathing, dislike and just plain venom. She was glad she wasnt on the recieving end of that look.
Touching Garhen lightly on the arm she tried to pull his attention back to the task at hand but he wouldnt even blink in her direction. But hearing Lyndis's comment she snapped her head back toward BB and the kid.
"Screaming? What are you talking about?"

"Half an hour," said one of the men in the room, as a group of people emerged and began loading the various items around the room onto a ship. He was short, with a pronounced widows peak and receding hair line. "Pick up the pace," he added with growl.
"Easy, Von," suggested the man who owned the laptop A-LX was attached to. "With the mech they can get everything on that ship in ten minutes if necessary." He gestured over his shoulder at a mech the size of a forklift, which was placing items into crates and sliding those crates into the ship one after another as the laptop DINGed and a label was printed out and slapped onto each crate.
"Quiet, Li, you're just here to mind the electronics," replied Von, in a patronizing tone.
Li smiled and looked amused, but there was something about the way he moved that said he was someone who had enough power to never have to argue. He gave a showy bow of compliance and returned to his laptop.
"Mind them I shall," he replied. He looked up at A-LX. "Your auction is going well, though people are questioning if you're still operational- due to that hole through your chest." He looked to be waiting for an obedient show of power, but A-LX remained still.
He wasn't sure what he was waiting for. No one had replied to his distress signal, but he wasn't sure what else to do. He wasn't going to help these thieves sell him and could not free himself with such low power. Li frowned and looked at his computer screen.
"Was hoping to sell it separately, but I guess we'll go ahead and use the spare power cell."
"Are you insane?" asked Von. "The auction is doing well. I don't need a dog and pony show-"
"You also don't need people coming after you, saying we sold them a defective product when they buy him and claim he was busted. They tend to kill you for that."
"And when it escapes?"
Li smiled that patronizing smile and turned his attention to A-LX. "Notice what we're doing?" he asked. "This is the last big going out of business sale for Von here, and he's the paranoid sort. When each auction ends we load the item onto the ship. Anything that doesn't sell, or anyone that causes problems, won't be getting on the ship. When the last auction, that's yours by the way, when the last auction ends and those who are joining us are on the ship, whe doors will all open and this planet's natives will come in. These are enormous bugs who eat anything they can wrap their teeth, mandibles, or claws around. You might not be made of meat, but they'll try a bite and keep trying until you're gone. No evidence at all, until it winds up in a ball of bug shit- though there are beetles which eat that as well. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
A-LX nodded once, while broadcasting this new revelation on his distress signal. He still wasn't sure if anyone could hear it, but if there were people on the planet then they needed to know about the insects immediately- and he needed their help immediately as well.

BB just kept on smiling.
"Oh, I dunno. Sounded like some poor soul scared out of his mind at the thought of being either eaten by giant insects or sold on the black market, but by all means, waste more time here. You might just have enough time to arrest me and save the poor bastard."
His eyes locked with Seglins briefly before they glanced down to her hand, and he smiled even wider.
"I kind of doubt it though..."
Finally, he turned to Garhen and put on a look of false hurt.
"Now Gary, you're gonna hurt my feelings if you keep that up. You're not still mad at me about your sister now, are you?"
BB's smile looked positively poisonous. He addressed Ariana now.
"Better keep a leash on that one, heart, might cause trouble if you don't."
He turned his gaze back to Ariana now.
"So what's it gonna be, heart? Stop a mad-man and get a pay-raise, or save some poor kid trapped by bugs and ease your conscious?" he asks.
BB was hoping for a few things here. Mainly, that they would go help whoever it was that was trapped by the bugs. But also, so that they'd help themselves. By provoking Garhen and Seglin, he hoped that when Ariana ordered them to take out the bugs, they'd go at it with extra vigor, therefore convincing the planets other inhabitants that they would be to much trouble to worry about, and that they were only there to answer an SOS, not attempt to bust their "market". Of course, there was also the fact that they'd be away from Phay and himself long enough for them to either get the hell out of dodge, or move to another entrance. He just hoped that the planets finest hadn't already decided to take matters into their own hands...

A bunch of hostile bugs, huh? Just what the doctor, or chef, ordered. Lyndis thought to himself at the explanation. Clearing out hostiles might endear him to the kinder side of Arianna and her crew's heart, which meant that once he followed them back to their ship he wouldn't have to sneak back on. There was also the matter of curing his 'hunger pains' so to say, which meant that he wouldn't be killing anyone nearby. Judging by BB's conversation though he might make an exception in the cyborgs case.
"If someone is THAT panicked then hand over the communicator. If you're not going to respond it's obvious that you don't need it. I'll handle the SOS and you go back to whatever rock you crawled out from under." He said with a somewhat more snappish quality than he usually used. It wasn't intention, it was just that something about BB really rubbed him the wrong way and he didn't want to stick around and find out why.

((I think I'll post here again in the hopes that someone *glares at phil and crystal* post soon after))
BB raises his eyebrows and chuckles before glancing briefly at Lyndis.
"You obviously don't understand the concept of a bargaining chip, kid," he mutters.
He casts a quick glance around the trees, sensing nobody eavesdropping (yet), and takes another step back. His eyes land on Garhen again, still giving him that venemous look. BB smiles back, then turns to Arianna
"Alright, I'll make you a deal. You leave now, I'll give you first dibs at catchin' me next time we meet. I might even show you a good time while you're at it," he says, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Not far off, a sharp, screeching sound echoes through the trees. BB raises his eyebrows and looks pointedly at Arianna while subtely motioning Phay to start backing up.
"Sounds like someones hungry," he says. He glances at Lyndis and chuckles, then takes another small step back.

((go glare somewhere else...XP))
Arianna weighed her options will looking back and forth between B.B. and Garhen, the mention of the latters sister had provoked an even darker response from her second in command. Pulling lightly on his arm she couldn't even get him to turn to look at her and with the mention of the 'hostile bugs' she knew things were getting out of hand.
Rolling her eyes at BB and his attempt at flirtation she made her decision, a relatively easy one actually. Looking over a Garhen one last time and seeing no change in his face she turned back to BB.
"Alright Woulfe I'll take your 'offer' but only cause there may be people who's lives are worth more than yours who are in danger, so run little convict, we'll be after you soon."
Motioning to her crewmates and glancing over at Lyndis she backed away from BB and his partner, and pulling viciously she managed to get Garhen to step back as well. As he glared back at her once she stated her opinion she could see the anger in his eyes, but as captian and a member of law enforcement, the more important mission was any civilians caught in the line of fire. A fact she would remind him of once they were on thier way.
"Have you lost your mind Ariana?!"
She heard Garhen whisper as they all backed away refusing to show thier backs to an enemy like BB. Sickening of his attitude she glared over at him and whispered ferociously,
"You'll do as you are told Lieutenant"
Garhen stared at her for a second longer before turing back to shoot one last venomous look at BB.
"Very Well Captian"

Lyndis's stare twitched into a glare at BB, the oncoming threat of a tantrum becoming real. He had met his share of unsavory people through out his travels, but never before had he met someone who made him want to break down and scream like the little kid he was at heart. It irked him, it rubbed him the wrong way, it made him wish he had a boot of his own to return the favor from earlier.
Fortunately things were resolved before he could blow up in a fit of death reaping rage. BB was going to run, as most convicts usually did, and Ariana was going to do the 'right' thing and go help people out of a situation she knew nothing about. This left him with a decision to make. Either he could stay here and pester BB, therefore figuring out whether or not this man was a threat to take seriously, or he could follow Ariana and her crew to make sure good intentions didn't get them all killed. After giving BB a sniff of disapproval/disgust he ran after Ariana and her crew. Not only were they less annoying and his ride off this planet, they were also heading int he direction of his new meal ticket.
"You don't mind if I tag along now, do you?" He asked, trotting up beside the captain while making sure to leave enough distance that she couldn't reach out an touch him. Old habits and all that.
